NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Levi & Korsinsky is investigating the Board of Directors of Atlantic

possible breaches of fiduciary duty and other violations of state law in
connection with the sale of the Company to Bond Street Holdings, Inc.

Under the terms of the transaction, Atlantic Coast shareholders will

$5.00 consideration, $2.00 will be held in an escrow account and will be
available to cover losses from stockholder claims for one year or until
the final resolution of such claims, if later. The investigation
concerns whether the Atlantic Coast Board of Directors breached their
fiduciary duties to Atlantic Coast stockholders by failing to adequately
shop the Company before entering into this transaction and whether Bond
Street Holdings, Inc. is underpaying for Atlantic Coast shares, thus
unlawfully harming Atlantic Coast stockholders. In particular, Atlantic
